Day (-1) Washington DC Hostel
Got to washington last night after an eventful flight.
We were last to the plane so chris’ seat was taken, being the polite person he is he sat in between fat stanley from the office and a moose. To say he didn’t look best pleased would be an understatement! Whilst trying to contain our laughter, we watched Chris get upgraded to “Premium Economy”.
Chris: I don’t think I’ve ever been so filled with rage. Just because you have a little squealing baby it doesn’t mean you can ignore your seating reservation, but you can’t exactly tell them to move because they have the little bloody baby. If they want to be with their baby regardless of seat reservations stick them in the baggage hold. I was looking forward SO much to my nice extra leg room seat and I got booted back in between two…oversized individuals. Then the stewardess sorted it all out because of health and safety and the number of air masks – kicked the guy back into my seat, and bumped me up a class. I have never been so happy. Justice.
Also it didn’t help that they looked like complete dweebs – the woman looked like Steve Coogan with **** hair.
Callum had toothache but the in flight doctor spoke our language and prescribed him two bottles of brandy and some paracetemol. Callum’s asian vegetarian dietary requirements didn’t prove to be too much of a problem, except for the fact that he was expected to eat a cold vegetable korma for pudding. Maybe it would have gone better with ice cream?
We took a cab to Washington after being raped by customs and arrived here at about 9.30 pm. The hostel is pretty nice inside, looks like a dump from the outside. Had some weird guy moaning at us before bed but other than that slept like a baby. We woke up ridiculously early and now about to go round Barry Obamas for breakfast. apparantley he has cooked us a full English, I doubt he has the proper bacon tho. Maybe he will let us play with his Nukes at some point.
